Truckin' and Trakin'

Truckin' and Trakin is an album by jazz pianist Junior Mance with saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman which was released on the Bee Hive label in 1984.

Reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic gave the album 4 stars, stating that "Mance and tenor saxophonist David 'Fathead' Newman make for a logical combination, since their soulful styles often straddle the boundary between jazz and R&B". Writing for United Press International, Ken Franckling stated that Mance's "versatile playing ranges from sophisticated and bluesy to churchy and funky."
